What you'll see in Gafsa

Artist's impression of totality over Gafsa: the Moon fully covering the Sun, with the corona showing around it.

Artist's impression. The Sun's height above the rooftops is its real altitude from Gafsa; the skyline itself is generic.

Gafsa sees 5m09s of totality, deep inside the path in Tunisia's arid southwest.

The Sun is high in the sky here, so unlike a low-horizon eclipse you do not need a distant, unobstructed skyline — but a courtyard or a narrow street can still put a rooftop in the way. Step somewhere with open sky overhead.

⚠ Eye safety

Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses for the entire partial phase. The ONLY exception is 10:05:49–10:10:58 UTC+1, when the Sun is fully covered from Gafsa.
